Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Students should discuss how sale of joint tenancy interest severs the tenancy. Issue of whether listing agreement severs unities is close. In Yannopoulos v. Sophos, 365 A.2d 1312 (Pa. 1976), the court held the listing agreement was irreversible and held the tenancy was severed.
